A primary market driver is the escalating globalization of business, which has significantly increased the need for companies to engage in face-to-face interactions to foster partnerships, facilitate knowledge exchange, and build networks in an increasingly competitive environment. Corporations and organizations are recognizing the critical value of in-person events to strengthen client relationships, motivate employees, and showcase new products and services, thereby intensifying demand for large-scale meetings, incentive travel programs, and industry-specific conferences.

These innovations have lowered logistical barriers and expanded reach, encouraging more businesses to invest in MICE activities. Economic growth in emerging markets, particularly in Asia Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East, is another significant driver, as rising disposable incomes, expanding corporate sectors, and improving infrastructure boost demand for hosting international events. Governments in these regions are actively promoting MICE tourism by investing in state-of-the-art convention centers, enhancing connectivity, and offering incentives to attract global conferences and exhibitions, thus stimulating local economies and creating a favorable business environment.

Based on the Service Provider, Venue Owners segment held the largest Market share in 2024. This dominance can be attributed to the critical role that physical infrastructure plays in hosting large-scale events, conferences, and exhibitions. Venue owners offer the foundational element of MICE events—space—ranging from convention centers and hotels with ballrooms to specialized exhibition halls and event arenas. The growing preference for integrated event experiences that combine accommodation, meeting spaces, and recreational amenities has driven demand for full-service venues, particularly those owned and managed by major hotel chains and convention operators.

Venue owners benefited from increased investments in smart infrastructure, hybrid-ready facilities, and sustainability features, aligning with evolving client expectations. Moreover, the rising demand for premium locations in metropolitan hubs and tourism-friendly cities, especially across Asia Pacific and the Middle East, contributed to the segment's substantial market share. As corporates, associations, and governments continue to prioritize destination-driven events, venue owners remain pivotal stakeholders in shaping the attendee experience and delivering value-driven MICE solutions.
